Helen M. Gougar (July 18, 1843 – June 6, 1907) was a lawyer, temperance and women's rights advocate, and newspaper journalist who resided in Lafayette, Indiana. Admitted to the Tippecanoe County, Indiana, bar in 1895 to present a "test" case, she was among the first women lawyers in the county. In 1897 she became one of the first women to argue a case before the Indiana Supreme Court. Gougar attracted attention for arguing a case for her right to vote in the 1894 elections. In addition to her advocacy work, Gougar became a public speaker and frequently campaigned to elect politicians who shared her views on women's suffrage and prohibition. She was the President for the Indiana Woman's Suffrage Association. An Indiana historical marker, dedicated in 2014, honors her efforts to secure voting rights for women.
